    HEY GUYS. I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP HERE.

    I installed instant lock version 2.5 to my vista laptop and locked some files on my external hard drive. Now that program got locked up and I uninstalled it by mistake. However the folder still remain locked on my external hard drive, in fact I cant even see them. Please tell me how they can be recovered, because I desperatly need the files. I know for a fact the files are still there because the amount of space on the external did not change. THANKS

    You should probably reinstall Instantlock...

    And pray that they identify your files..

    Again, I've never used instantlock, So i really don't know..

    Although I would advise you to use truecrypt as its better and ITS open source.

    getting around security hardware or software is not allowed on these boards.

    you need to contact the manufacturer.

    someone should close this thread.
